DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1171
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY In 1757 Leonhard Euler demonstrated that to avoid bending tall columns needed to be stiffer but not stronger than shorter columns of equal diameter and material density. Many researchers have concluded… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Premise Although ecological differentiation driven by altitude and soil is hypothesized to promote coexistence of sympatric tree species of Damburneya (Lauraceae), the mechanistic role of leaf functional variation on ecological differentiation among co‐occurring species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16124
Abstract: PREMISE Understanding the drivers of the growth in long-lived woody trees is the key to predicting their responses to and maintaining their populations under global change. However, the role of tree sex and differential investment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4339
Abstract: Abstract Tropical forest loss and fragmentation can change bee community dynamics and potentially interrupt plant–pollinator relationships. While bee community responses to forest fragmentation have been investigated in a number of tropical regions, no studies have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5306
Abstract: Abstract Various historical processes have been put forth as drivers of patterns in the spatial distribution of Amazonian trees and their population genetic variation. We tested whether five widespread tree species show congruent phylogeographic breaks… read more here.

Climate change mitigation through adaptation: the effectiveness of forest diversification by novel tree planting regimes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1981
Abstract: Climate change is projected to have negative implications for forest ecosystems and their dependent communities and industries. Adaptation studies of forestry practices have focused on maintaining the provisioning of ecosystem services; however, those practices may… read more here.

Local differentiation in tree growth responses to climate

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2368
Abstract: Many temperate tree species have extraordinarily broad distributions along gradients of temperature and precipitation. But it is not clear in most species whether this reflects very broad tolerance of climate conditions, or a high degree… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2653
Abstract: Forest fragments in highly disturbed landscapes provide important ecosystem services ranging from acting as biodiversity reservoir to providing timber or regulating hydrology. Managing the tree species richness and composition of these fragments to optimize their… read more here.

Highly invasive tree species are more dependent on mutualisms.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2997
Abstract: Why some species become invasive while others do not remains an elusive question. It has been proposed that invasive species should depend less on mutualisms, because their spread would then be less constrained by the… read more here.

Experimental and observational evidence of negative conspecific density dependence in temperate ectomycorrhizal trees.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3808
Abstract: Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) promotes tree species diversity by reducing recruitment near conspecific adults due to biotic feedbacks from herbivores, pathogens, or competitors. While this process is well-described in tropical forests, tests of temperate… read more here.
